What You Should Know:
– HealthTap, a leading virtual healthcare provider delivering affordable, high-quality primary care, today announced its launch into the durable medical equipment (DME) market with its first partner, Aeroflow Healthcare.
– With the news, HealthTap is positioned to help more patients seamlessly access primary care and DME services. Aeroflow customers who don’t have an established primary care provider (PCP) can now conveniently connect with a licensed HealthTap physician in the HealthTap medical group to address their health needs, including DME-related consultations.
HealthTap’s Comprehensive Virtual Primary Care and DME Solutions
HealthTap is a leading virtual primary care provider that offers high-quality, cost-effective healthcare across all 50 states. The company partners with health plans, health systems, integrated delivery networks (IDNs), accountable care organizations (ACOs), at-risk providers, and employers to expand access to primary care through flexible fee-for-service or value-based care arrangements.
HealthTap’s proprietary platform seamlessly integrates into existing patient workflows, electronic medical records (EMRs), and care channels. Key features of the platform include:
– Personalized care with the ability for patients to select and see the same doctor consistently
– Same-day or same-week appointment scheduling
– Rapid response times via text with a dedicated doctor
– 365-day urgent care with a median wait time of under one minute
The platform is designed to enhance patient engagement and continuity of care, especially for those without a primary care provider (PCP). It allows patients to establish long-term relationships with their physicians, ensuring better overall health management.
In collaboration with Aeroflow, a leading provider of durable medical equipment (DME) and personalized health solutions, HealthTap extends its service offerings to a broader range of healthcare needs. Aeroflow provides access to integrated health solutions, covering a variety of conditions such as:
– Maternity care
– Diabetes management
– Sleep health
– Urology and more
As the DME market continues to grow, particularly with the aging population and the expansion of home-based care, HealthTap is positioning itself to meet the increasing demand for both virtual primary care and DME products. Despite over 100 million Americans lacking access to a PCP, HealthTap’s comprehensive platform aims to bridge this gap, improving health outcomes while also enhancing the market potential for DME.
HealthTap is also at the forefront of innovation in virtual healthcare. The company recently launched its generative AI solution, Dr.A.I.™, which provides an intuitive pre-appointment patient interview, gathering key information conversationally. Additionally, HealthTap has expanded its insurance support and formed strategic partnerships with multiple enterprises to extend its virtual primary care services to a wider population.
“Just like accessing medications or lab services, accessing DME is a central component of ensuring patients receive comprehensive, ongoing care. However, for the tens of millions of Americans that rely on durable medical equipment each year, those without a PCP may experience disruptions in their care that can lead to downstream health complications,” said HealthTap Co-founder and CEO Sean Mehra. “Our mission has always been to bring affordable, high-quality primary care to every American, and our partnership with Aeroflow enhances this commitment by allowing us to reach more patients in a critical market segment.”
